All Aboard! Let's Go To Lunch!
 The Fondren Express may
not travel the globe everyday, but the choices for lunch do, and we want to
take you out for that flavor fix! Whether it's Italian, Mediterranean,
Vegan, Southern classic, or anywhere in between, the trolley route runs past over
20 dining choices during luchtime on weekdays. And if price is your
point, you can choose from a 99 cent value to a sit down creation that may
leave little room for your nighttime meal! There's a world of flavor in our
funky little neighborhood, and getting to it means a 75 cent round trip
ride. Our route turns you around in less than an hour, and our
recommendations for what you crave may have you on board several days a
week. And that's fine by me. Just grab me a doggie bag! Find our route map and a
list of area restaurants at our website, FondrenExpress.com. |
